Chapter 16

So I'm writing this instead of doing my science work but eh, it just for completion anyways doesn't matter.

I don't own pokémon

Normal POV

He ran; ran as fast as he possibly could with people following behind. Their destination, the roof. The only problem was that they had no key to access it. Although that didn't stop them, they continued to run no matter how hard the stairs were, no matter how much they wanted to stop, they ran to save their friend.

"Paul, we can't keep this up!" a young brunette with a red headband on her head called out to the leader of the group.

"Then stop Red! I won't need you up there Dawn will!" He snapped back at her. He didn't look back; he had no intension to. If I stop, that bastard could do anything to her! He stumbled due to a sharp pain in his left calf. Keep your mind on Dawn! Don't let a little pain go to your head Paul! Little did he know that little pain could get much worse any second. He pushed through it though; he swore he would save her from him. That guy that hit on her every day in class, the guy that always checks her out, the guy that always wants to get her in bed with him, the guy he absolutely despised.

The group reached the door to the rooftop, everyone dripping in sweat except for our ginger friend Misty. "Seriously, why are you not drenched in sweat like the rest of us?!" Gary asked as he attempted to fix his hair that un-spiked itself because of sweat.

"That was just a warm-up for me. When I trained for swimming we did Stairs for an hour once, and then ran 5km". Everyone except Paul (who was looking for a way to open the door) raised an eyebrow at her.

There was a sudden shriek everyone's attention turned to the door. "That was Dawn! Open up this Damn door!" Leaf Scream as she tried to ram the door down. Gary picked her up and pulled her away trying to calm her down a bit. Paul began to rub his temples in hopes of coming up with an idea.

"Misty do you have a bobby pin on you?" Paul asked her. Misty pulled a bobby pin from the back of her hair and handed it to him.

"I seriously don't think you can unlock a door with a bob-" she was stopped by the sound of a clicking. The clicking of a door unlocking; Paul gave her a sly smirk. "How did you do that!?" she asked well taking the bobby pin back from Paul.

"You have your hobbies and I have mine. It just so happens that I didn't grow up in the best part of Veilstone." He said as he tried to open up the door; it was still jammed.

"Everyone move out of the way. Paul you are good at handling doors, why don't you try that again." Drew said gesturing towards the space cleared for him. Paul, whom quickly caught on to Drew's idea, walked over to the empty path that was made. He turned and faced the door. Charging at the door and ramming it with his shoulder, it opened.

Paul not ready for the stop flew through the heavy doors opening; having the door close quickly behind him, the rest of the group could not get through. He looked around quickly for the blue haired girl, hen spotting her. She was pinned up against the wall by a kid with brown hair and a stupid green shirt in Paul's opinion. Wait a second! This is supposed to be Conway! And that kid! I've seen him before! But where...the skate park! He was the kid that pushed me!

Paul quickly rushed over in secrecy behind the kid hoping Dawn wouldn't change how she was acting. Luckily she didn't and Paul quickly grabbed his arms pulling them down and behind his back to where he was stuck. Dawn quickly got off the wall and realized who was there for her. In a quiet voice she said his name, although it was too quiet for him to hear. "Let me go damnit!" the boy in Paul's arms yelled as he squirmed, attempting to escape. But to no avail Paul was too strong for him.

"Not until you tell me where he is!" Paul yelled at the boy while throwing him to the round, pinning him there. The boy squirmed more. Dawn tapped Paul's shoulder causing him to look at her. She mouthed the words thanks you then whispered something in his ear. They switched positions now having Dawn pinning down the boy and Paul to look around a bit. "I can't believe that this was a friend of yours," Paul said to her before leaving to sneak around.

With the others...

"Arceus damn heavy door!" May yelled as she kicked the door leading to the roof. She grabbed her now throbbing foot and went to sit with the others who were slumped upon the staircase.

"I can't believe that after all this we are stuck out here unable to do anything," Iris sighed and put her head on Cilan's shoulder completely unaware that she did. "Gary could you try ramming it again?" she asked lifting her head to look at the no longer spiky haired brunette.

Giving her a look he replied, "I don't think so, my shoulder still hurts from the thirty times I already tried. Leafy could you please fix it?"

"How many times do I need to tell you, I am not a nurse!" she yelled from beside him.

"You should be, you would be a hot one," he purred in her ear, loud enough for everyone to hear.

"That shoulder will be the least of your problems if you keep up the whole, I have a girlfriend and you don't act." said Drew as he flipped his green locks.

"And if you don't stop the damn flipping of your hair, you will be in a lot worse condition then he would be." May said as she fixed her bandana on her head.

"Oh please, you know you find it irresistible," he smirked in reply and yet again flipped his hair. May stood up to get closer so that Drew was in hitting distance but Misty ordered her to sit back down.

"How about everyone stop these stupid fights and we go back to the dorm. We all know that Paul can handle this situation by himself." Everyone hated to admit it but Misty was right, Paul could do anything if he really wanted to and this was something that he did.

"I can make us something to eat and we can get Gary's shoulder checked by Nurse Joy too," Cilan suggested.

"We're in!" Ash and May yelled in unison as they now raced to the dorm.

"I'm in too," Iris said as her and Cilan began to make their way down to the dorm as well.

"We're in too," Gary said as him and Leaf stood up. "But I would prefer to be checked out alone with Nurse Leaf." He said in a seductive voice with a wink at Leaf, who just rolled her eyes and Began to walk downstairs with Misty.

She looked back at her boyfriend who was standing his with his hands in his pockets, "keep I up and you will never be able to have kids." She smirked before turning around to continue her walk down stairs.

"You know, you could be all handsy but would never accomplish what you set out to do; you would get a little preoccupied with something else." He said slyly before following the group down with Drew shaking his head.

Back on the Roof...

Dawn's POV

I can't believe that he could figure out where I was. Maybe there was more than just hate in that head in order to come and get me unlike the others. They seemed they should be here, maybe they were looking elsewhere.

"Dawn! Come on we are best friends!" he squirmed again. The boy who had been my best friend back when we were young, he had been working with Conway to get me on this roof.

"You aren't my best friend after what you have done to me! You left me in kindergarten when I found May as a friend, you hated me for that. Kenny, you got yourself into this position!" I screamed back at him. There was then a thud.

"You filthy bastard! You realize I will beat you to an ounce of life when I get my hands on you!" Paul? I turned quickly releasing the grip I had on Kenny to see Paul on the higher part of the roof and the reason I was up here on a few feet away from me.

Paul jumped off the higher part of the roof landing all ninja like in front of Conway. "You will be lucky if I don't murder you!" Okay now this is to extremes, Paul shouldn't be using violence for this situation; we can get him expelled or something. I got up and rushed over between the two. Great this is a bit of a dangerous spot for me to be; between and angry Paul and a creepy Conway. No need to worry though right?

"Move and let me do this Troublesome." Paul ordered. I wasn't going to listen, I shook my head. "Move. Now." He repeated in a harsh tone. I again shook my head. Although I guess this time he really wanted me to listen. He grabbed my shoulders and pushed me to the ground out of the way, causing me to scrap my knees and forearms. I looked at my scraps and just my luck I was bleeding. "Now I can deal with this bastard." Conway jumped up and ran to the rooftop door.

Before Conway reached the door, it was slammed open. It was Cynthia, and this just became an interesting matter. "Paul Shinji! Put your fists down and get to my office now! Conway Kohei you go down as well! i don't want you two to have touched each other when I get down there! Dawn Berlitz, I want you to go see the nurse about those scraps. And you kid, I want you off my school grounds now!" She was beyond mad Paul and Conway did what they were told and headed to the office. Kenny left to go back to wherever he was staying I guess and I headed to nurse Joy.

"Oh hello Dawn, do you need something?" Joy asked as I walked into her office.

"Um ya," I lifted my arms to show my scraps. "Ms. Cynthia told me to come here, Paul was angry and I got in his way and he pushed me down." I explained to her what had happened because I knew she would.

"Oh yes, you were on the roof top because of something bad, care to explain what had happened to you? And before you ask, your roommate Gary was in here earlier with his shoulder." She told me as she retrieved something from the cabinet on the wall to help with the scraps.

I explained the situation to Joy when Cynthia called me to the office once I was taken care of. I guess she needed to hear my side of the story since I knew that Conway and Paul would tell theirs.

Once Nurse Joy sent me on my way, I thanked her and headed to Cynthia's office. It was rather large and had waiting chairs that currently had Paul in one and Conway in the other. I knocked on the door to enter the meeting part of the office and Cynthia had me come in.

"Now Dawn, Conway and Paul told me what happened. Judging from what both of them said this whole thing started with you. Could you please tell me your side of the story of why the four of you were on the roof, you were hurt, Paul was angered and Conway was running in fear?" I nodded. "Please don't leave out anything."

I started to explain my story right from the beginning with grave detail. Once I completed my side of the story I was excused to the waiting room with Conway and Paul. After about ten minutes of stressful waiting, Cynthia had come out of the room, her arms crossed and a stern look on her face.

"Now, I suppose that I could send both of you boys home for what you have done. Conway for doing what you have done to Dawn and Paul for resorting to violence although you could have just come to me. Although I will not send either of you home. Conway you are to report to detention every day next semester and I will be informing your father for what you have done. Paul I am letting you off the hook because you were angered by what Conway was doing to Dawn. Now I want Paul and Dawn to return to your dorm room, I feel your roommates will be wondering what happened to you." Paul and I stood up and walked out of the office in silence.

We were on our way back to the dorm and still neither of us had said a word. I decided it would be a good idea for me to say thank you from whatever Conway had planned. "Um, Paul."

"Hm"

"Thank you, for saving me from Conway"

"It's nothing."

"Why did you do it?"

"Do what?"

"Save me. I mean I'm just that troublesome girl in your mind. So why would you do it?" we had both stopped at this point and were facing each other. I looked up to his face, the anger had disappeared and in its place was a hint of red.

"Because he could've done anything to you. Answer your question?"

"Yes, but now I have a new question. Why would you care?" Paul turned his head away in a hurry. I moved so that we were face to face again. I noticed that the red had gone into a deeper shade and covered his face. The Paul Shinji was blushing! I smiled at him, "Paul why is your face red?"

"No reason." He tried to walk away but I grabbed him and pulled him back. He let out a sigh.

"There has to be a reason, you are blushing, that doesn't happen." I waited for his answer, but nothing was coming out of his mouth. I sighed, "Paul why won't you tell me?"

"Do you really want to know?" he asked I smiled and nodded my head quickly. Letting out a sigh he said, "Fine, but you asked for this." I was a bit confused by his statement because he said no reason why he blushed.

I quickly figured out what he meant though when he pushed me against the wall. His face began to get closer and before I could do anything his lips were pushed against mine. I could feel my face go red. Once I realized what this meant I was filled with glee; Paul liked me. I hadn't told anyone, not even May, but over the months we've been living with the guys and iris I've developed feeling for Paul and the feeling is mutual. I let my relaxed and enjoyed the remainder of this moment until Paul pulled away.

His face was red, a deep red. He looked at the ground and his bangs covered his face. "You know you shouldn't be embarrassed for liking someone Paul." I tried to cheer him up but it wasn't working he stayed in the same position. "Paul, look at me," his face lifted still red but emotionless. I threw my arms around him and stood on my tiptoes. I whispered in his ear, "I like you too." Instantly I felt his arms wrap around me.

"There's one thing though." He told me without letting me go. I looked up at his face. "We can't date, I'm the 'emo-freak' and you are the 'peppy cheerleader' you'll get hassled about it and you won't like it. I can put up with stuff like it but I don't think that I could take my brother." My mood dropped a bit but it came to me.

"What if no one knows about us?" He gave me a look demanding to explain myself. "Like we go out and have a relationship type thing but tell no one. That way no one could hassle us we would just need to be careful is all." He nodded in agreement to my plan. "Now we should get back the girls are probably freaking out about me." Again he nodded and let go of me before we began to walk back to the room
